Where do you want to start,  Full top end seal kit including rocker, head,  inlet & exhaust gaskets,  cam followers, & shims,  valves,  bearings,  head bolts,  cams, lightened cam pulley and a known machine shop that can polish ports and gas flow your donor head?
Oh before i forget lots of £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£


If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?
